Weekly Shop Discussion Topic

From now on you can discuss the weekly shop items in this topic. This is to avoid multiple topics about the same object and also to give us a better overview instead of having to go through multiple topics.
Current topics about shop discussions will stay open, new ones will be closed.

Question arised after the announcement of supplement level cap changed to 65 ones:

Will the prices remain the same or will they increase?
^ Just to clarify, I'm not looking for a discussion on it being cheap/expensive. It's a matter of making calcs on the kinah I have on my chars and how many I can afford, period.

Unfortunatly i can't really answer those things. Prices are being reviewed and adjusted if needed. But i think most of them will stay the same. If an item really isn't selling, there is no need to put it in the shop either or to make it come back. Since for example the supplements have always been this price, it makes me think that they are selling pretty well, so then there will be no price adjustment.
Also with some items you need to be carefull. If for example they would put the supplements for lets say 39 aion coins in the shop and tradeable it would hurt ingame economy. That's one of the main reasons why some items are so expensive.

Another thing that i often see here is that people calculate the price of an item in worst case scenario. For example a gold pack being 10 euro. But in general people don't buy that few coins, they buy more, 50 or 100 euro/month. So prices are also being adjusted to that average spending amount.

Problem No1 with the supplements:

TRUST

The gifting feature while nice leaves room for abuse scam and people stealing kinah.
Making them tradeable fixes all issues makes them NOT PAY TO WIN (you can reasonably win by not paying a dime just play smart and make kinah).

Maka, at another topic you've written the sup's will be changed to 65 lvl cap (fabled+eternal), may you pls add when? will it be pararely done with proper description of an item at the shop, so we are assured of the change?

I bet many people here are waiting for newm otions since long time.As you may remember the ninja and hovering are in game since 2.5.Long time pass since then and the new one it does really look cool.And i my self bought it in NA.

As its in NA store probably is not about licensing.As simple nothing that require license is going in NA shop.
